Which IPTV "player" is the best to use?

OK I have a bit of a "special" problem. I have IPTV and wish to watch it on my computer.
(BTW I use KDE)
Currently I use VLC to do this. It has some pros and some cons:
Pros:
It can force aspect ration
It works with "out of the box"
Cons:
The current way to get to the play list is not good, as it stops playing video while your in playlist. Also, you should know that I use playlist when "channel surfing".
I don't know how to record. I thought I found it, but it doesn't work, or i don't know how to set it right.
I also tried mplayer/kmplayer:
Pros:
Recording is simple.
The playlist is aside the video, so it's better than VLC.
Cons:
I haven't found how to force aspect ratio
I haven't found how to go to next channel without leaving fullscreen.
And there's mythtv. While I did found an how-to guide on setting it with my IPTV provider, the setting seems daunting. Also I would be using this on my main desktop computer, and skimming through mythtv wikis on ArchWiki gave me an impression that it's better to be set on dedicated media computer. Also the whole setting up the mythtv seems too much for casual TV watching that I do. I could use VirtualBox with Mythbuntu in it, which could probably save me a lot of trouble. So I'll look in to that. (Even though to tell you the truth it's not the same, so I think I'd actually prefer the Arch method of setting it up. because that way at least I'll know what is wrong if something wouldn't want to work.) This could also mean getting LIRC to work, getting or even making an remote controller and etc.
I don't watch TV that often, so I don't know how much hard work should I put into this. And shows that I miss (for which I would need recording) are available on internet legally, just in lower quality.
Sorry for a bit of an "blog" post. I need some advice and also if there are some alternatives to what I already listed above.

If you have questions about the Visual Studio Tools, the ODT built in doc for that is good. The ODP.NET Doc is good if you have questions about using ODP.NET specifically.
If you have questions about generic ADO.NET interfaces, use the MS online docs or other web resources. I think based on what you are describing you may need to read up a bit more about ADO.NET to understand it's relationship with ODP.NET. There are helpful docs on that all over the web. Since it is generic, it is not part of the Oracle doc set.
If you have questions about specific error numbers, honestly the docs aren't too helpful. You are better off using "metallink" if you have a support account, or searching the OTN forums by error string if you do not.
Networking errors are the perfect example of errors that you are much much better off looking at OTN or metallink for. I wouldn't even know what doc to send you to for those and the doc would just have the basic error definition, not the resolution.
Does that answer your question?

Dynamic streaming - which encoding bitrates are the best to use

If I was to stream live fast action sporting event like a basketball game, using dynamic streaming (3 streams) with a dedicated 10MB upstream connection and a strong encoding appliance(viewcast model) what are the best/most common bitrates I should encode at? Which bitrates are most accessible for both PC and mobile, average users?
>> 275kbps, 550kbps, 875kbps
>> 282kbps, 482kbps, 682kbps
>> 300kbps, 500kbps, 800kbps
Would a lot of buffering occur if a viewers connection fluctuates alot between 550 and 875kbps?
Thanks.D

It will depend upon your client base - do you any idea what is bandwidth profile of most of your client base? I think that would help you decide which one would better suit your need - there is nothing like best per se but depending on your client profile - customers decide thier MBR set

Which register cleaner or tune up software is the best to use for windows vista,windows 7 and windows 8.1 as professional?

I second what Kate Li said. There's no need for a registry cleaner! Don't do it! I run Windows systems for years and they keep running as light and fast as when they're new.
What I *do* recommend is regularly reviewing the list of programs set to run in the background using a tool to show you what starts in various ways called Autoruns, which can be found here:

This tool can be used to disable things you don't need.

Someday - and no one knows when that day will come - maybe all applications will be able to take advantage of the Retina display. But for the present, not many do: including all Adobe applications. There was a demo of Photoshop at the Apple World Wide Developers Conference of Photoshop running at native Retina resolutions but no one at Adobe in marketing is saying when, if or how the upgrade may be coming. It could be a week, it could be a year, it could be 2-3 years. No one knows. And only Apple app's (for the main part) are really utilizing the native Retina display.
I've seen some demos of some applications (Apple's) that take advantage of the Retina display and they're awesome. But in actually working in the here-and-now I've heard quite a few gripes, particularly on the Photoshop forum, of menus looking pixelated and/or 'blurry' so I'm not quite ready to jump into the Retina display boat just now. Don't get me wrong - others have ad are very, very pleased with their selection. But until Retina displays are available on larger monitors, the maximum work area that you're going to be able to use is 15" - and that's simply not enough room for full-blown graphic design. Then there's the cost factor - for the $4,000+ you spend for a completely full-blown Retina kit, you can get a standard MacBook Pro, 16 GB of RAM, a fast SSD and even the Apple Thunderbolt Display for the same amount.
The standard MacBook Pro isn't better than the Retina display: it's just different. And I think (and this is only my opinion - other graphic designers should feel free to jump in here) that it's the best computer that you can get for your specific purposes. And, towards that goal, I have to recommend a very good external monitor (there's nothing more annoying than having to use InDesign in a single-page mode rather than side-by-side because your monitor isn't big enough).
Remember that this is only my opinion and that others might jump in with their own. But I was in the electronic pre-press business for more years than I care to admit and we always - always - worked with at least 19" monitors (and that's back when dinosaurs actually ruled the world).
I hope that others will jump in with their comments. I'm going to follow this thread and see!
Good luck,
Clinton

What is the BEST practice - use BO or Java Object in process as webservice

Hi All,
I have my BP published as web service. I have defined My process input & output as BOs. My BP talks to DB through DAO layer(written in JAVA) which has Java objects. So I have BO as well as java Objects. Since I am collecting user input in BO, I have to assign individual values contained in BO to Java object's fields.
I want to reduce this extra headache & want to use either of BO or Java object.I want to know What is the best practice - use BO or Java object as process input. If it is BO,how I can reuse BOs in Java?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Sujata P. Galinde

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your response. I also wanted to use java object only. When I use java object as process input argument..it is fine. But when I try to create Process web service, I am getting compilation error - "data type not supported".....
To get rid of this error, I tried to use heir (BO inheriting from java class). But while invoking process as web service, it is not asking for fields that are inherited from java class.
Then I created Business Object with a field of type java class... This also is not working. While sending request, it is giving an error that - field type for fields from java class not found.
Conclusion - not able to use java object as process(exposed as web service) input argument .
What is the Best & feasible way to accomplist the task - Process using DAO in Java & exposed as web service.
Thanks & Regards,
Sujata

Which hard drive is the best?

I was thinking about replacing the hard drive and the combo drive with something better.
Which hard drive is the best? Is it the Western Digital? I was also looking at Samsung but after reading about them using harmful chemicals, I became a bit hesitant.

Which KVM switch is the best for Mac Mini

Base on individual experience, which KVM switch is the best for Mac Mini

Hot-Key mode MacMini and IO Gear KVM Switch MiniView Micro USB Plus
Fusionwolf, can you help me?
I want to use my TFT monitor (HPvs19 ) with a MacMini and a Casablanca KRON PC. The monitor works good with both computers, when connecting them separately.
I've bought a KVM switch MiniView Micro USB Plus (IOGear GCS632U) connected it as written in the IOGear Installation Manual. Now I can use the monitor with my MacMini and my Mac keyboard, but I cannot switch to the PC.
In the IO Gear manual several methods to switch ports are written. But every method starts by invoking HotKey mode.
The manual reads :
"To invoke HotKey mode, do the following:
1. Press and hold down the NumLock key
2. Press and release the minus- key
3. Release the NumLock key"
and
"When HotKey mode is active, the Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDs flash in succession to indicate that Hotkey mode is in effect."
I've tried many times to do this pressing/releasing on my Mac keyboard. Within different time/speeds. But with no result... I CANNOT get in the HotKey mode...
What can I do? Are there other ways to get in HotKey mode with my Mac keyboard (bought with my previous iMac some 4 years ago)? Or are there other ways of switching with the IO Gear KVM Switch?
Thanks a lot in advance for an answer!

Which web browser is the best?(firefox, chrome, safari)

I am using mac 10.6.4 which web browser is the best for mac?
Facebook, youtube etc.
Thanks
Ala.

What could be possibly better than an Apple product for an Apple product.
Actually there are various areas where Safari is defective compared to other browsers. For example it lacks the ability to override the fonts of a website with fonts of your own choosing. Also it cannot send a different language identifier for multilingual webpages without changing the language for the entire OS. Whether the defects matter depends of course on each user's individual requirements.

Which method signature is the best?

Among the following method signatures in Java, which one can provide the best performance while the method is called? Why?
(1) public void my_method( String a, int b, int c )
(2) public void my_method( int b, String a, int c )
(3) public void my_method( int b, int c, String a )

1) All primitive types (except long and double) are pushed onto the stack as 32-bit entities and are 32-bit aligned. The reference types are pushed as a reference and occupy 32-bit also.
2) If the method have had tens or hundreds of parameters, the opcodes for accessing some parameters will have short offsets and other parameters will have long offsets. When you have only 3 or 4 parameters there is no difference between the offsets needed to access each parameter. The difference of time used for the interpreter or JIT compiler for dealing with short or long offsets usually is negligible.
3) So the better way to speed up your program is to forget micro-optimization and concentrate in better algorithms and caching data if possible.

I am thinking of getting my first Macbook pro for uni and was just wondering which one would be the best? The macbook pro or macbook pro with retina display? or even wait for the new release in 2013 ?

If your budget is unlimited, look at both the retina and non-retina and make a decision based on your preferences. If funds are tight, explore the options in the refurbished section. Unless you are dealing with courses that demand specific performance parameters, any one of these options will suffice.
Ciao.
